MANILA, Nov. 25 (Xinhua) -- Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo will veto any bill seeking to extend her own term of office beyond 2010, if such a legislative measure is approved by the Congress, a government official said on Tuesday.

    The statement was made amid an allegation that pro-Arroyo congressmen have filed a resolution in the House of Representatives that attempts to extend the term of all incumbent officials, including President Arroyo, up to 2011.

    Anthony Golez, a spokesman of the government, branded the allegation as "baseless," and said that President Arroyo herself would veto such a bill, if presented to her office.

    Earlier, the president said that her presidency ends in June 2010 as mandated by law.

    A poll released on Tuesday also showed that most Filipinos are not in favor of moves to amend the constitution and to extend the president's term.

    About 64 percent of adult Filipinos are opposed to amending the Constitution to allow Arroyo to continue as chief official of the Philippines after June 30, 2010, according to a Social Weather Stations survey. The Social Weather Stations is a public opinion polling body in the Philippines.

    President Arroyo left Peru on Monday after a two-day Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation leaders meeting and flew to Colombia before returning to the Philippines via Los Angeles, California. She is expected to arrive in Manila on Friday.
